That's just a crazy opinion. There's NO way a planet with billions of people can exist peacefully without some sort of top-down organization. That's a bigger delusion than American Democracy. A much bigger delusion.

Wait a minute. Really? The corporate press is engaged in a conspiracy to simply make it *look* like they are ignoring Dr. Paul??? Hmmmm..... could be I guess,lol, but then why don't they just let him win if it doesn't really matter who wins and give the people the ultimate illusion they still have some power. I'm not certain I follow the logic.

I wouldn't support anyone. I have never voted and never will.
Then, as a non-participant in the process, you have no right to complain, and your opinion on the matter is a moot point.
Not that it really matters, as Romney will get the nomination, lose against Obama, and we'll have four more years of a do-nothing Presidency, while big business continues to take advantage of the high unemployment rate to demand more and more from their workers for less compensation, reaping higher profits along the way.
Not that any of this would change if Romney actually won (but he won't).
Of course, even if by some miracle, Paul got the nomination, he too would lose against Obama.
Either way we're screwed for the next four years....so stick it out until 2016, is all you can really do.
The good news, is that the economy will start to get a little better and better. It has to, as without it, businesses don't have customers, so they will eventually do what is needed to drive commerce and make sure people will have resources to spend. This has NOTHING to do with who is in the White House, other than 4 more years of irresponsible spending and stifling growth affecting the economy.

The system wouldn't allow him to become president because if he tried any of that nonsense he is babbling on about it would either cause China to invade the US, or the entire global system to collapse entirely, killing almost everyone on the planet.
And the illusion that you have power is clearly already working perfectly anyway, as this thread demonstrates, so why should they go out of their way?

Well I agree partially with (I think) 'The System' doesn't want him to become president you're right and the corporate media is doing all it can to shut him out so we're back to square one. But on a different note, while I don't know people's motives for sure, I certainly get the sense an awful lot of effort is going into trying (lamely IMO) to smear the good Dr. by less than above board cheap shots.
Oh and by the way did I mention....
Paul/Ventura 2012!
Go Ron Paul!

Speaks volumes. I'm wondering if Karl Rove not only works overtime trying to smear Demo challengers but also people within the party. But then of course it's only smoke and mirrors, no need to assasinate the Welstone's of the world, doesn't matter who's in..... rightedit on 7-2-2012 by Tecumte because: spelling

Well it seems like you and I share the same concerns on life. Ron Paul wants to bring the troops home, and stop the bloodshed overseas. If Ron Paul honestly didn't care about life he would have never became a Doctor. The MSM makes it sound like rhetoric because what he is trying to do is shrink the Government and cut spending overseas, that is something the elites don't want to hear. If you want to talk about the master of rhetoric he is currently running our country down the drain. Ron Paul wants the United States to be how it once was, and preserve the Constitution. I don't think I need to write a lot to prove where I am trying to get to. Anything is better then Romney, Santorum, Gingrich, and Obama unfortunately we can't run rampant and over rule the Government, at least not yet...Trust me I share your concerns, but the reality of it all is that Ron Paul makes the most sense thus far.
